Daily Review


GAZETTE OFFICE,
FORT WORTH, TEX, Oct. II, 1887.
Trade in all lines was frst-rate to-day.
Retailers did rushing business.
Cotton is coming in more lively with
unchanged quotations.
THE STATE OF TRADE.
Special kilograms to Bradstreet's,
while reporting fair degree of activity
in the distribution of general merchan-
disc, particularly OF groceries and hard
ware, record noticeable decline, taking
the country as a whole, when compared
with the weekly average during Septem-
Der. At Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Detroit, Chicago, ST. Joseph, and Calves
ton, while no special declines are noted
Except at Philadelphia and st. Joseph
general trade has been more active within
recent weeks than it is now. There is q
moderate check to the movement of dry
goods at some western centers, and the
demand for pig iron is also less pro-
nounced, although prices continue firm
at st. Louis, Pittsburg and New York.
The market, as whole, is more quiet.
Mercantile collections are fair only north
west and throughout the central Mississ-
ippi and Missouri valleys and southwest,
with some delay in particular localities.
Leading domestic money markets are
about SIS last reported, with rather more
freedom in making mercantile discounts
At New York the market is noIeasier; at
Boston there is more stringency, and at
Philadelphia much more ease in effecting
discounts. There is no Improvement this
direction over last week in Kansas City,
ST. Joseph, Davenport aud Omaha, but at
Chicago, Burling ton, Iowa, and Louisville
the loan markets are easier. At Chicago
private lenders are doing an increased bus
mess and the banks have ample reserves.
Lower tendencies were shown in the New
York stock market due to bear activity,
and based on the northwestern railway
situation, and the announcement of the
sale Of the Baltimore and Ohio wires to
the Western Union produced but a tenn
porary rally.
Anthracite coal is very active and tend
ing higher. Wool is steady and cotton
